Here's my summary of why websites are offline right now, and why nerds are laughing at the number 4.
I've attempted to explain the jargon in use, so those interested but not working in tech have a chance at understanding what's going on.

@NatGrayYes Debian does have patches for the PHP vunls all the way down to PHP 5.6.
@NatGrayYes thank you Nat! This was much appreciated.
@NatGrayYes
Thank you! I was thinking I would have to wait for a #computerphile video to understand this whole thing (though, I expect and will welcome one from the gang over there).
@NatGrayYes Thanks for doing this! My remaining question is why eight weak certificates is so bad. Does that affect more than eight websites?
@msbellows these certificates are used to certify individual websites’ certificates and therefore can forge anything
@NatGrayYes
Thank you, very much appreciated!
